11 posts, in reading order

A practical walk through Domain-Driven Design for backend engineers: from deciding whether DDD fits your project at all, through the building blocks — entities, value objects, aggregates, domain services and domain events — to strategic design with bounded contexts.

The series is honest about the cost: DDD pays off in complex domains and actively hurts in simple CRUD, so two full posts are devoted to when not to use it. Examples come from real fintech and e-commerce systems, not toy models.
